Jessie Beier: "When I think about artistic research, I think about it as a site of struggle, where research itself is a question."
Jessie Beier (MEd, PhD) is a teacher, artist, researcher, philosopher, and conjurer of weird pedagogies for unthought futures. Working at the intersection of art, philosophy, and pedagogy, jessie’s research-creation practice aims to mutate and upend dominant visions of educational futurity so as to speculate otherwise on pedagogical possibility in an era of ecocatastrophe. Bringing educational theory and practice into contact with contemporary conversations across Anthropocene studies, feminist science and technology studies, critical disability studies, queer ecological theory, energy (in)humanities, extinction studies, and AI/computation/machine learning, jessie’s research develops what she calls a weird pedagogy—an experimental (albeit always insufficient) pedagogical anti-model, a speculative programme for the unprogrammable that seeks to actualize, in collective ways, desired pedagogical otherworlds. jessie is currently Assistant Professor of Art Education at Concordia University (Montreal), where she teaches courses on research practice, post-human pedagogies, critical inquiry, community art education, and curriculum design in secondary school contexts, and also leads collaborative research-creation projects (see, for instance, a recent project titled Learning Machines). Her recent publications include Pedagogy at the End of the World: Weird Pedagogies for Unthought Educational Futures (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023); Sound Research in Troubling Times: Hope in Crisis (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024, co-edited with Owen Chapman); and Ahuman Pedagogy: Multidisciplinary Perspectives for Education in the Anthropocene (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022, co-edited with jan jagodzinski). jessie is also a founding member of the E.E.R.K. Collective and co-author and designer of Energy Emergency Repair Kit (Fordham University Press, 2024)—an experimental artist book offering speculative tools and counter-aesthetics for navigating ecological breakdown.
